Chapter 9: I fall and sleep my way home
Destiny's point of view: It was ten minutes till I clocked out and I ran down to the front desk for a favor. "Hey Charlene could you look up the jobs available for me?" I asked. She smiled and pulled up the jobs on her computer. "Ah ha here's the perfect one for your friend… He could work in the same office as you…like your partner in crime." She said. "Perfect! Close that job opening I have a new partner." I said walking into the elevator. Tenison stood waiting at the door to my office with Henry talking to him. Bad about him. "Oh hey Henry and Tenison! How are you lately? Good well Tenison and I really have to get home." I said pecking Tenison's cheek and wrapping an arm around him. He sensed my act and wrapped an arm around my waist snuggly and we walked down the hall and into the elevator. "Thanks for saving me back there he was really getting onto me." "What did he say to you?" I asked. "Something about stay off my girl or you'll be sorry." He said. I shuddered and he added "you idiot there will be no way that she will pick a guy who lives on the streets over a guy who lives in a penthouse." "She will never go for a criminal who lost his job, depends on her with everything and tries to be the class clown." "I hate him he thinks I am all over a stuck up rich snob like him." I growled scrunching up my nose. He sighed and said "well what girl would go for me?" "Any girl who is right in the head" I said. He sighed and shook his head saying "yeah right, any girl who is right in the head knows how to stay away from me." "Then I know a girl who's not right in the head." I said trying to give him a hint. He rolled his eyes and asked "who?" "I can't say" I said sighing. The elevator doors clicked open and Charlene said "Good bye you two." "Thanks a lot Charlene" I said. "No problem Destiny see you two soon." She said as we walked out the door. "You like her now" Tenison said. "Yeah I guess a favor I asked her brought us together." I said giggling. He said "it sure did." On the way home we stayed in the position we were in a while ago at the office. "So did you like acting like that around your boss?" Tenison asked. "Of course it was fun to make him angry." I said. I started dozing off and before I knew it Tenison was gathering me up in his arms as I fell asleep. "Hey Tenison did Destiny fall asleep on the way home?" I heard Adam ask. "Yeah I'm going to go set her in her bed and leave while I still can." "You are seriously saying you don't like Destiny?" Adam asked. "To be honest I really like her I just don't want to be built up to be knocked over again." Tenison said. "Dude Destiny doesn't do that to a guy unless she really can't stand him and she really likes you too or so Annabelle says." "Should I ask her out?" Tenison asked. "Do you really like her because Destiny doesn't like to be broken and if she is she's well not Destiny everything's dimmer about her." Adam said. "I love her to tell the truth and when I didn't see her for a week well I guess I went a bit insane and when I did see her I almost doubled over trying to get into the apartment." "Well, well, well Tenison it seems that you are in love with my best friend" Annabelle said. "I'll ask her out soon when I get the chance" Tenison said opening the door. When he went to take my shoes off I opened my eyes up and tackled him in a hug. "What's this for" He asked. "You're going to stay right?" I asked. He looked down at me and said "sure thing I so owe you for saving me unless you are just doing this so I don't have to go back to heck in that alley? Do you really want me here Destiny?" He asked. I hugged him tighter and said "yes I wouldn't be hugging you if I didn't want you here." He hugged back and I closed my eyes. He started letting go and I held on falling asleep again.
10: Ready for work
Destiny's point of view: I woke up with my head once again on Tenison's chest. He was lying down on my pillow holding me against him. As he woke up I closed my eyes and he said quietly "how did you get me to fall asleep next to you?" "Destiny has that affect on guys when she starts to fall asleep and she's messing with you right now she's awake." Annabelle said. I started laughing and sitting up. "Why did you do that?" he asked. I got up and said "come on we have work." "Work" Tenison asked very confused. "Yes you will see when we get there." I said pulling him up. "Destiny I'm pretty sure if I went with you to the magazine company people would realize I am wearing the same shirt from yesterday." He said taking a step back from me. Annabelle came back into the room holding a stack of shirts saying "well I thought of it last night when I couldn't sleep and took a bunch of fabric and well did this with it, one of the reason's I landed the fashion articles in the magazine company." "Uh Annabelle you didn't need to do that." Tenison said. "I had a feeling that I needed to because when I realized Jack was still on the couch and I came in to check on you, you were both asleep." "I had a feeling you both were going to work now hurry get dressed or you will be late." she said dragging Tenison out of my room. Minutes later I walked out wearing my light blue shirt, white skinny jeans and black flats. Tenison was wearing jeans, converse, one of Annabelle's originals and his smile. I sat down on the couch next to him and said "hey." "Hey Destiny ready for work because I'm prepared to soak your boss in coffee" He said. I smiled and said "sure I really want to get to work anyways they said there was going to be a surprise waiting in my office I wonder what it is." I started pulling Tenison up and screamed "Annabelle we're off to work enjoy the romantic comedies!" "Jack loves them no worry!" She yelled. "Come on Tenison can you go any faster?" I asked pulling him along. "I'm coming Destiny wait up." He said in a breathless tone. When we got inside the company building Charlene said "it's waiting up there I hope this is what you wanted Destiny." "I can only see if it is." I said smiling. "Take no rush to get up there!" She said. I walked into the elevator after Tenison and pressed the twelfth floor button. When inside my office Tenison asked "are you getting a new employee?" I took a look at the wooden desk and new bulletin board and asked "would you like to work here someday?" "Well it depends would you like me to one day?" He asked not catching my hint. "Yeah it would be nice to see you running around doing my errands." I laughed. "But it would be great if you could work in the same office as me right?" I asked. "Yeah that would be nice I guess and I wouldn't have to write any articles right, just help rearrange the magazine?" He asked. "It was nice having someone around to help figure out the next issue" I mused. "It's too bad I really like this person that's coming to work right next to me for all the same hours, pay, he's going to have to talk to me all the time and this is the part I love about him people say that he once spilt iced coffee on his new boss but his best friend thought it was heroic of him." I said. "Sounds like the thing I did." Tenison said. "Tenison I'm trying to ask you if you want the job!" I exploded. He grinned and asked "why didn't you just ask?" I gave him a sour look and said "because I don't like asking nicely." "So do I have the job or not?" He asked. "You had the job at two in the morning when we got out of here the favor I asked Charlene was to pull up the job offers available." "This is your desk and your bulletin board while I am your partner in crime." I said. "This is great Destiny but are you sure you really want me to work here?" He asked. "Positive." I said. "Okay my partner in crime, what do we do now?" He asked. "Start to pull together the next big issue based on First dates from the twelve plus." I said.
